Windows/VS2022/GTK3 build?

Hello. Interesting work. Thank you.

If I run the CMake GUI I can see no option to create a GTK build. Have I missed something?

FWIW gvsbuild makes it possible to get VS2022 to build all of the GTK3 suite.

Best wishes.

Unfortunately, GTK is not supported in Windows. It was in the past via cross-compilation from Linux, but since the switch to CMake, only Qt is supported on non-Linux platforms. If you wanted to invest the time, you could probably make it work. I don't know how though.

Understood - thanks for the confirmation. I will take a look. Absolutely no promises but would you be amenable to a PR for this?

I could be. It depends how much maintenance and support it would require (testing, packaging, etc.)
